Former Blue Raider back in portal

Would take him back in a heartbeat personally. DL could use some help and he had a strong year last season at defensive end

You can have him. “3 practices???”

If he's willing to give up so easily, then it was addition by subtraction

Strange. His Dad played for Boots ‘87-90.
Brother played for Navy. Some FCS school may pick him up. I’ll be surprised if he lands at another G5 school.

He was okay. Probably would start for us now since our whole DL jumped in the portal, but nothing special

Thought he did pretty well in the rotation. Had the combination of length and athleticism the other DL maybe didn't have as much. Made some plays in honestly a nationally good DL. But yeah MTSU just also doesn't have much proven anything on the DL at this point

Thought he was a solid contributor. DL is the hardest position for us to recruit to. Lots of big guys out there but very few with the lateral quickness you need at the D1 level.

I think he is worth bringing back if he wants to

I disagree but will be interested to see how CDM handles this if the guy tries to return.

If he wasn't a problem in the locker room, I don't see why we wouldn't. Don't know the kid, but I thought I had read in the past he was a fairly high character guy. Going on memory, so could be wrong.
